Switch ON your SONNET or OPUS 2
and insert the coil first into the
WaterWear, sliding it carefully into the
flexible sleeve without causing damage
to the cable. Make sure that the coil
cable is fully inserted in the sleeve and
that it remains attached
1
to the coil.
Hold the battery pack between
thumb and forefinger and insert the
earhook first. The tip of the earhook
should reach to the very end of the
earhook shape of the WaterWear so
that it fits tightly.
2
Hold the control unit with one hand,
and with the other hand hold the
WaterWear between thumb and
forefinger and pull it over the battery
pack. It will form a tight fit, so some
tension is to be expected.
3
Pull the WaterWear over the entire
processor and avoid crinkling the edge
of the opening. In order to avoid
tension on the coil cable, also make
sure that the coil cable is not twisted
inside the WaterWear.

Apply the adhesive strip to the
bottom of the battery pack first but
do not seal it completely. Then, with
your free hand place your fingers over
the cable to press out the remaining
air. Make sure that there is no excess
air in the WaterWear cover such that

bulging occurs.
